Drag Access Road

1. Description

The road from the DLRA camp to the edge of the lake gets extremely corrigated with all the traffic travelling to and from each day. We have a commitment to keep this road in good condition not only for Speed Week but also the Mt. Ive homestead, as it is their road.

 

2. Responsibility

Their are 2 large tyres that are dragged behind a 4WD daily to knock the top off the road corrigations. It only needs to be done once a day, as too often will turn it to dust.

Note: The difference between an executive committee member’s role and other roles
A executive committee member role is a strategic position within the club and consequently, a executive committee member is responsible for governing the club. A executive committee member’s role should not be confused with the management and operational roles of an organisation (like a Race Director, Inspector, Timer or Starter). The day-to-day work of the organisation is managed and completed by these volunteers with the club. Unless you also hold an execution (operational) role, it is not your responsibility to perform or be involved in the day-to-day running of the club.
